I think you're putting the cart before the horse, literally. The reason we aren't transit focused in the United States is because of 7+ decades of urban design focused on automotive transit. > What do you feel would make you want to use them over your car more? If it's cheaper and more convenient than getting in my car, including if I have to get into my car to get to the station/stop. > Do you believe that the US could one day become as public-transit/micromobility friendly as Europe? Why/Why not? I think it depends on the specific geographic location. Where I live now (suburbs of a major city), maybe but it would take massive government support and have a lot of local opposition. Where I lived last (in the heart of one of our largest cities) definitely, but it already had options for transit. Where I lived before that (rural North Carolina), with heavy and direct government subsidies (which is what they do now). The other thing is that if by "micromobility" you mean electric scooters - you're going to face a lot of public opposition. It's not a transit solution insomuch as a nuisance and public health nightmare. People like myself will go out of our way to ban them from our neighborhoods.
